that comes from competing in a conference game. I would hope we can figure a way to overcome it, but I don't think its fair to simply ignore the fact that almost every other team out there has that extra motivation that fuels them.

It doesnt matter if its the Sun Belt Title or the SEC title, as a player having that goal, knowing how to get it, and knowing who is between you and that goal makes a difference.

I am NOT trying to make an excuse for these guys. But what I am saying is that if we are able to recover from a loss quickly, it takes a higher level of mental toughness than a team in a conference championship race.
